Does anyone bet at all?
Online or
Shops

If so where, which firm etc?

p.s. You can vote for both

only in shops i dont trust myself any other way:o

I do put a couple of quid in the fruit machine now and then :)

Dont gamble online or in bookies etc..

I do online on Ladbrooks on the games! Since i started working for William Hill i got into it a bit.... so thought id have a go!

only on major horse races if I can be bothered and I'd usually use Billy Hills in town or Crookes.

Sometimes use bookies, with my dads system.

Ladbrokes - Grand national and some footy games :D

Sometimes on horses, occasionally on dogs. Never on the lottery, it is far too vulgar.

Shameless plugging! :shocked:


Online most of the time - but ya can't beat a flutter down at the bookies if yer nag comes in 1st!!

Been known to have a game of poker with the lads but we usually only play a fiver a game so I dont know if that counts as gambling........

Does playing the Irish Lottery count ..you do have to go in a betting shop to pay.

I only gambled online once when the odds of winning was guaranteed.

I got something like £89 of free money thanks to someone on here.

I closed the account down.

When I was younger, I started to nip into town on my motorbike during the lunch break, to place a bet at the bookies for a colleague. This guy could study form, as they say. He never bet unless he was pretty sure of a winner.

I would bet on the same horse. First horse came in at 33-1. A week goes by, we bet again, and the horse comes in at 50-1.
The following week, we win on a horse at 20-1.

Next time, he bets on a horse at 2-1. I suggest he picks another horse which is at least 10-1. He says his horse is the winner. I place his bet, but as I don't like the odds, put my money on the horse at 10-1. His horse romps home, and I lose my stake money.

I realised then that I would only ever bet at huge odds, and although I'd enjoyed three wins, it was a mug's game unless you knew the form. I've never bet on the horses since. I have done the office sweepstake on the Grand National though - but haven't won since Red Rum had his first win!

Never bet on horses or dogs. The only people driving rolles royces are bookies.:smile: Not punters.

Some times go for the realy long odds and buy a lottery ticket.
